Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

And now, my soul, another year 
And now, my soul, another year of thy short life is past; I cannot long continue here, and this may be my last. 
Much of this dubious life is gone, nor will return again; and swift my passing moments run, the few that still remain. 
Awake, my soul! with utmost care thy true condition learn; what are thy hopes, how sure? how fair? And what thy great concern? 
Behold, another year begins! Set out afresh for heaven; seek pardon for thy former sins, in Christ so freely given. 
Devoutly yield thyself to God, and to his care commend; and still pursue the heavenly road, nor doubt a happy end! 
Simon Browne (1680-1732), 1720
